President Asif Ali Zardari has asked All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) to prepare a road map for the revival of the country's textile industry, which will be shared with all political parties so that they can include the same in their economic agenda for the forthcoming general election.
This was stated by Federal Advisor on Textile Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig here on Friday. He said the President had also constituted a committee headed by Minister for Textile Makhdoom Shahabuddin to prepare recommendations to boost the exports of textile products. Other members of the committee included Dr Baig, former Chairman Aptma Gauhar Ejaz and representatives of the association.
Dr Baig said that the President had directed to ratify all remaining treaties on priority basis, which is required by Pakistan to qualify for GSP Plus status. Dr Baig further said that he would be meeting all textile exporters associations to finalise their recommendations.-PR
